AMERIGO "RIGGIE" "ROCKETS" LAU...
AMERIGO "RIGGIE" "ROCKETS" LAUS Age 93, on Monday, June 24, 2019, Amerigo "Riggie" "Rockets" Laus passed away from pneumonia. He was born to Italian immigrant parents in Cheat Haven, PA, the youngest boy of seven surviving children. At the age of 13, his older brother Dan gave him a trumpet and showed him how to play. He took it from there and went on to become a national champion. In 1939, the family moved to Penn Hills, where he joined the high school band and orchestra. At 16, when he was a junior, he joined the local dance band "TopHatters" and played in bars and taverns. He would walk five miles to rehearsals and get rides to performances. His senior year he was appointed the Student Director and trumpet soloist. In 1943, he graduated from Penn Hills High at the age of 17. The following year, he enlisted in the Navy. He was assigned to the S.S. Sanborn troop transport as a Machinist's Mate and the ship's bugler and had to teach himself to play it. He participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa campaigns. He was honorably discharged from active duty in 1946 and from the reserves in 1954. From 1946-48 he performed with the Universal Community Concert Dance Band, the Kittaning VFW Marching Band, and the New Kensington VFW Marching Band. In 1948, he heard about the Pittsburgh Rockets Drum and Bugle Corps, checked them out and stayed for the next 25 years. Practicing on the bugle with a single valve and tuning slide, he came up with new ways to play higher and lower notes that others could not. Consequently, from 1956-64 he won 14 consecutive National first place titles in the individual soprano competitions. This feat has never been matched. Some of the music he arranged and played included "Carnival of Venice," "Granada," "Stardust," and "Hora Staccato." For his final competition, he arranged and played "Flight of the Bumblebee," retiring from individual competitions undefeated. Over the years, he was an instructor for the Tarentum Red Knights Fireman Parade Corps, the Pittsburgh Rockets, the Meadville Thunderbirds (renamed Erie Thunderbirds), the Penn Hills Quasars, the Sharpsburg Cadets, the All Girls Perryville Cadets, the General Butler Vagabonds, and the Steel City Ambassadors. Little did he know that some of his students would go on to become National Champions, professional musicians, and band directors. Riggie has been inducted into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame, the Pennsylvania Buglers Hall of Fame, the Pennsylvania Drum and Bugle Corps Hall of Fame, the Buglers Hall of Fame, and the Penn Hills Arts and Music Hall of Fame. He was a lifelong member of the American Legion Post 351 and played Taps for the Korean War Veterans Association. He was a member of Mother of Good Council Church, a lector, choir member, Eucharistic Minister, and trumpet accompanist. He drove a school bus for the Penn Hills School District for 22 years, where the children called him "Rockets," because he always wore his Pittsburgh Rockets jacket. He kept every card, picture, ornament, or art work that the children gave him for Christmas, Valentine's, anniversaries, and his retirement. He taught the kindergarteners silly songs that they would sing at the top of their lungs on the way to and from school, much to the dismay of the teachers and principals. In 2003, he joined and performed with the Steel City Alumni Corps and later the Trafford Community Band until he was 90. At the age of 88 he joined the Hebron Senior Bowling League and retired from that at 92. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Florine (Berardino) Laus; his daughters, Mary Jo (William) Markiewicz and Celeste Laus; two grandsons, A.J. and Christian Markiewicz; sisters, Thelma Ruggiero (Aspinwall) and Rosie Brooke (California); and sister-in-law, Lillian Laus (California); and beloved relatives and friends. Preceding him in death, Daniel and Antoinette Laus, Jenny and William Gillette, Anthony Laus, and Gene and Mary Laus.

JAMES ROBERT ZUBERBUHLER, M.D....
JAMES ROBERT ZUBERBUHLER, M.D. Of Chippewa Township died peacefully on June 24th in the presence of his dear wife of 62 years, and surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and brother. Dr. Zube, as he is known by his many friends, colleagues, and patients was born on August 7, 1929 and was a lifelong resident of Chippewa Township, Pennsylvania. He was a graduate of Beaver Falls High School, Allegheny College, and The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He is survived by his wife Janet Y. Zuberbuhler, his four children, James S. Zuberbuhler, Ann Zuberbuhler West, Mary Belohlavek, and Amy Butler, and 10 grandchildren. After joining Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in 1967, Dr. "Zube" became the Director of its Department of Pediatric Cardiology, where he worked to establish a world-renowned Pediatric Cardiology training program. In addition to caring for his patients, he worked with his fellow cardiologists to train medical residents and fellows who became experts and pioneers in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart anomalies. During a challenging transition period at Children's Hospital, he was appointed Acting Chair of Pediatrics from 1987-88, and in 1994, he was called on to serve for two years as Children's Medical Director. Following that, he returned to the practice of pediatric cardiology, which he did until 2003. While regarded by patients and colleagues as an extraordinary physician, mentor, and teacher, he is best remembered as a person who put his family first and enjoyed the company of his many friends. He had an incredible sense of humor and was an avid reader and hobbyist who studied, among many other things, wildflowers and fungi, and loved skiing and golf. Bob's lifetime love and partnership with his wife and their unwavering role as parents and grandparents will always be cherished by his children and grandchildren. As one grandchild wrote, My Grandfather was the father of four and a husband to the most wonderful grandmother the world could ask for. You were an inspiration not only to me, but to the thousands of lives and hearts you touched, quite literally. There are few who can wear a hat labeled Older than Dirt, and shoot their age in his beloved game of golf when 83, while reciting limericks from memory between shots. We love you and know that you will rest in peace. His life was the epitome of a life well-lived. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
